Tub Southern Dental Association
will hold its 17th annual convention
in New Orleans next Tuesday tie
31st. An interesting session Is look
ed for.
Mr. Ci.kvm.and baa sent, Hunsot
Cox to Turkey. Mr. Cox will make n
good representative of this country
at any foreign court. A vast amount
of bright good wit and humor will go
with him.
Oolonbl PIKB HiLL, of Atlanta, Is
in Washington trying to be appoint
ed to the United Htates of Colombia
as minister. Well, Colonel Pike
would do elegantly away around
there, and we hope he will succeed
in bls aspirations
Thk democrats of Chicago have
again nominated the Hon. Carter
Harrison tor mayor of that city. H
is the man who came so near paint
ing the state of Illinois “red” at the
late presidential election. It he will
now just paint “Black Jack" Logan
“black,” we will wish him good luck.
England has sent over large orders
for American canned meats. One
Chicago concern has a contract, to
supply 1.400,000 ibs. We hope that
won’t put the price up any, for meat
is too high for cotton farmers to buy
it now. If Bismarck had not turned
his face against American meat, John
Bull might have had to pay more for
his supply.
Trustee—lnvestments - Confeder
ate Bonds.—ln the case of Lamar vs
Micou the supreme court, of the
United States recently held that the
investment by a guardian of money
of his ward in bonds of the so-called
confederate states during 'he war of
the rebellion, and while both guar
dian anti ward were residing within
the enemy’s territory, whs unlawful,
and that the guardian was respon

Thh old confederate armory lot at
Richmond was sold In January for
$16,600. The United States court re
fused to confirm the sale, and the lot
was resold Monday last.the Tredegar
iron company purchasing H at $26.
800. Democratic government appears
to be inoreasirg the value of real
estate in Richmond, making court
officials honest, and proving that the
manufacturing interests are hopeful
of geater prosperity.
- -—♦ -—a
War between England and Russia
would affect the entire commercial
world. As capitalists would bo moro
interested in the success of England,
irrespective of the merits of the con
troversy, they would pour millions
of money into her lap. which would
enable her to purchase the allegiance
of thousands of natives, who would
naturally be moro friendly to Russia.
It is true that Russia would adopt the
same tac'ics, but in such a warfare
the nation with the largest purse
usually wins—and in this instance it
would be probably England.
“Handsome Georgia,” as Senator
Pendleton used to be called, tells the
reportors that tils appointment to
foreign mission was a surprise to
him. MeLean, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer claims credit for securing
the appointment, and it is now said
that he is almost dead to get a
foreign place for Judge Thurman, so
as to send him out of thecountry too.
McLean nas an eye elevated to some
good place himself, and thinks if he
can get these gentlemen out of bis
way, that he will reach it.
The railroads centering at Chat
tanooga are hard to arrange freight
rates that they will stand up to. The
usual pries for first-class freight
coming from Now York to that point
Is $1 14 per hundred pounds. A short
time ago a cut was made, and alt
agreed to put it at 95 cents, and now
bad faith is charged by the Cincin
nati Southern, and that company
has cut down to 40 cents, and so it
goes. Such work is good for Jay-
Gould and Vanderbilt, who will come
In and gobble up those roads when
the stock is run down by these "cut
ters” to about half its value.
Their Wives Drove Them Back.
Our readers will remember how a
number of families from Whitehall
went to Arkansas recently and how
soon they came back. It now trans
pires that the wives of tne emigrants
deserve thecredit of thequick return.
At the place they intenned to locate
one man was hauling wood for seven
widows whose husbands had drop
ped off In that inhospitable country.
The state of things so alarmed the
women of the party that they iminedi
ately set their faces toward their old
homes and saved their husbands.

"They belong to the same lodge as
ourselves,” said Jones to 8 mpkins,
while discussing the social standing
of certain Jefferson avenue citiz-ns,
"but that fact don’t prevent them
from being what they really are—
conceited asses!”
“That may be true,” replied Simp
kina thoughtfully. “Now that you

I AN INTERESTING AND BEAUTIFUL LITTER
! FROM A PUtHBVTMUIAN PREACHER.
| The Otirtotf an Ob'- -tv**.
Mt Dear Doctor—Yes. 1 got your
letter, toning me not to write you •
any more rhapeudii s about the R v. |
Kirn Jones, the revlvalla'; that wnen
j you wanted theology you preferred
taking it out, of the deep old wells
(with ■» Greek bucket and a Hebrew
windlass) I Os course I know that
and how scholarly your defence of
b-arnad clergy always is—but wh-u
you hear that, almost every friend
you have in Huntsville das come to
Christ through this man. I know
you will want to;,hear something of
bis way—a way that is absolutely
apo-tollc in Its simplicity.
Did you ever think what strange
use religious economy makes of elm
pit preachers? how once or more in
every age the heavy, incense laden
air through which the priestly voices
sound faint and fir off. is broken by
a rush as of wings, ami sudden room
is nude for John the Baptist, with
the freebm-HH of the wilderness upon
him, or tne Hermit, Peter in worn
samtals and with “race-dust on bls
cheek,” leading a new crusade! The
world always credits a miraculous
power to such men; there Is a oon
cpicuous absence of contemporary
fashions, and flavor of learning, and
the tricks of schools, that makes
tneir utterances sound like the
w irds ol God. For all their eccen
tricity, these reformers arc periodic,
and the world* 10-ives them as if it
t.ad bion waiting. When Mr. Jones
(I wish bls name was Thomas Aqui
nas, for your sake!) came to uo iast
week there seemed a alienee in the
air, then there was a keen note from
a not“uncertuln” tiumpet, and all at
on ewe were at hi- feet. Uncertain?
Why from the moment ho enters the
pulpit and begins the simple service,
there is an unhesitating straight, for
wards hh, as If the act itself was the
law of God. It seems foreordained I
alter nothing that he is email, slight,
and dark, a face of which one only
remembers purpose and expression,
me takes note of courage. He is so
small, so mere a speck, as he glances
aver the sea of faces that greet him.
with a look of quiet, welcome ano
posessioD, t hat changes him suddenly
into a magnet, and from which his
audience n> v r again escapes. Mid
voice is a powerful factor; it is even,
I temperate, anti at first sltgntiy mono
■ tonou-, like) one who delivers ames
, sage from an unseen Voice at his ear,
Suddenly the man who has quietly
- thrilled you. Is making you laugh,
and some toughs in the corner over
, 'here are appl -tiding—and when you
. lenvo him a few minutes 1 iter, th y
and you are weepiov. How can you
1 help either the laughter or the tear ?
? He makes our spas.aeys > ssd, heav
en so sweet; and he tells the story
io simple, enriching it with smiles so
boad and homely, that ur humane
ness bubbles over with pleasure,
i The farm r, the merchant, the fish
) eiman, th ■ little ehllo, ate all used
, os illustrations. It is the old parabio
preaching; 'he sower, the prodigal
' sou, the good Samaritan, the lost
I sheep! We are knit Into the theme
f by the common incidents of daily
life, until the air Is soft with human
sweetness! then suddenly he lifts
1 his slight arm like a cleaving wing,
, and heaven opens, and we shade our
eyes from the light, as ho tells us, in
painting words of itw glory—in words
1 that are still not. learned or elegant,
but fly from him in sparks as if bea
ten irom some molten mass by an
unseen hand! You remember old
Martin, who has been to the coal
mines so frequently—he says, as the
tears stream down his dark face, that
“Mr. Jones has got sympathy for
folk,” which is in truth about half
the matter.
I know a Bishop who always sends
tils young preachers to read George
Eliot’s sketch of the woman preacher,
Dinah Motrin. wed to read it.
bht it can’t bo copied. The charm
and powers of Dinah is her womanly
pity, her divine humanness. Mr.
Jones loves, pities sinners—pleads
tor them on Ins knees, and to them
on his feet,and his sweet humaneness
like a warm gulf-etre un, mails them
from their icy anchors, and floats
them past the tide of mortal, to the
sea of heavenly 1 >ve. Surely the poet
might have said that not only "the
prayetn best who loveth beet,” but
he preaohetii beet who loveth best.
Yours, truly.

Mormon Sentiment.
The general sentiment among the
intelligent Mormons regarding the
decision of the United States supreme
court, in the election casee, in which
the Utah commissioners are respon
dents, is one of disappointment.
Wuile the test oath prescribed by ttie
commission is declared invalid, the
Mormons sav the court went out of
its wny to particularly declare the
Edmunds act valid, when that point
was not necessarily before it. Tne
ruling that the inhabitants of the
territories are under the sovereign
control of congress, is viewed with
Htnaz-'inent and regret, and Is gener
ally considered es a position more
opposed to a republican form of gov
ernment than any ever given since
the nation was founded. The Mor
mons feel that they are being unjust
ly dealt with.
De Lesseps on Soudan.
In an interview recently published
in a Paris paper, Ferdinand De L s
seps, the great engineer, is quoted as
saying: “1 have repeatedly warned
th* English that to send an expedi
tion to Soudan was to send soldiers
to certain death. As for ancient Nu
bia, or Ethiopia, it is a country in
which, aa if iu a 8-*a, whole armies of
conquerors have been enguiphed.
Oambyss left 108,000 men ou the des
erts, and he was only too glad to re
turn home with a handful of follow
ers. The son of Meaemet Ali was
burned in hie camp with his army.
To attempt to conquer Soudan by
force is a cream. It is quite possible
to give laws and to govern these in
tebigent, heroically brave races. In
order to roach Khartoum, whatever
the route taken, one must cross
deserts m which there is absolutely
no water. An army whether going
or returning will always be an easy
prey to the warlike population of
Nubia. These can turn on the enemy
as many as 100,000 lighting men for
whom death is only a secondary con
sideration, and who would bs scoffed
at by the women if they returned to
their villages without having aveng
ed tne deaths of their companions.
The longer the struggle is continued
against the Soudan the more difficult
will be the affecting of the settle
ment. Two years ago it woula have
been easy to negotiate; now it is
difficult, the animosity of these fa
natical soldiers having been aroused. ”
